Fyi: this afternoon, after a make world, kernel build and a reboot I was
seeing the following in my mail log:

The strange hostname should have been the name of our local smarthost.
After taking

#options        INET6           #IPv6 communications protocols
#options        IPSEC           #IP security
#options        IPSEC_ESP       #IP security (crypto; define w/ IPSEC)
#options        IPSEC_IPV6FWD   #IP security tunnel for IPv6
#options        IPSEC_DEBUG     #debug for IP security

out of the kernel, the problem went away.

I'm assuming this is related to the IPv6 changes because I have these
additional interfaces:

gif0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
gif1: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280

and those interface names show up in the garbage. The library call involved
seems to be res_query().


Thanks,
